“Book of Death, Soul Extraction!”

Lin Kang was also a Curse Mage. He had already come up with a plan after he saw the first insect feeding on his Slaughtering Demon Generals.

He held his brush firmly and wrote a Curse in the air.

The ten Shamanic Mountain Dragons were about to make their moves when something suddenly bound them. At a closer look, it turned out that the Curse Lin Kang had written had pinned them down. The strange lines of words were binding the Shamanic Mountain Dragons to the ground like unbreakable chains.

More words appeared under the Shamanic Mountain Dragons’ feet. The glowing words under their feet were enough to fill a whole page in the Book of Death!

Once the page was filled, the words started dimming. The Shamanic Mountain Dragons were dying as the words were fading.

Their carapaces were falling off. Their flesh dried up and their bones loosened. Their souls had wilted away rapidly.

The fierce Shamanic Mountain Dragons were dying to the Curse Magic before they could even attack Lin Kang.

In the end, the Shamanic Mountain Dragons collapsed to the ground like helpless bugs, turning into pools of filth after they died.

“Hah, what else do you have?” Lin Kang laughed.

Normally, it would take Lin Kang a lot of effort to use the Book of Death, but he was able to use it with ease after his Curse Element and Undead Element were strengthened! “This page is for you. My Book of Death has never recorded the names of nobodies!” Lin Kang pointed his brush at Mu Bai.

Lin Kang had written eleven pages in the Book of Death. The page with the deadliest Curse was on the next page, and it now had Mu Bai’s name on it!

Every name in the Book of Death belonged to a person now dead. Lin Kang would not use it under normal circumstances, but this was necessary for him to claim the greatest power in North City. He would not mind even if the Magic Association was going to question him afterwards!

Mu Bai did not have time to back away. Lines of glowing Words written with blood appeared around him. Not only did they pin Mu Bai down, they were also wrapping around him in several layers!

“AHHH!!!” Mu Bai cried out loudly. The glowing Words were floating in the air at first, but they soon carved themselves into Mu Bai’s skin.

Every stroke was reaching deep into his flesh and bones. The blood that was pouring out made the Words look even scarier.

“It’s more comfortable dying to my Undead. Why did you insist on dying to the Book of Death?” Lin Kang laughed when he saw Mu Bai covered in blood.

Mu Bai’s face was covered by bloody Words, but his eyes were not filled with despair because of the unbearable pain.

He stared at Lin Kang with a fire in his chest. His eyes were also burning with the will to fight.

“Have you ever met the real God of Death?” Mu Bai asked coldly.

Lin Kang was startled. The God of Death?

Who would ever meet an existence like that? Only those that were about to die would see him!

The so-called gods were just some powerful creatures. Anything could be called a god as long as they were strong enough.

Lin Kang could also consider himself a God of Death, since he could easily decide the fate of a person with a single stroke of his brush!

“Do you think that’s all there is to my Book of Death? It’s going to kill you, but it’s going to make you taste the sufferings of Hell first!” Lin Kang proclaimed.

“Some people like to act tough. The Book of Death is just a kind of Super Power disguised with the Curse Magic. Are you that naïve to call it the Book of Death, which can control anyone’s death?” Mu Bai laughed. He was laughing even though his body was covered in Curses and blood. It was a weird sight to see.

“I was once a prison guard in charge of executing criminals that were sentenced to death. It’s strange how the criminals always pretended they had already accepted their fate, but when they were tied to the chair and put on the helmet, they would always lose control of their bladders and scream something ridiculous, just like children!” Lin Kang was not surprised by Mu Bai’s reaction. “You are just like them now. To be honest, I do miss the old days. I was disgusted at first, but I began quite looking forward to going to work as time went by!”

Mu Bai was still bleeding, but the torture of the Curse Magic was no longer targeting just his flesh. He could feel the Curse digging into his bones. He felt like screaming from the enormous pain.

Even so, Mu Bai continued to laugh at certain times. His soul would be next, after the pain was inflicted on his bones.

It was the usual trilogy of the Curse Magic: first the flesh, then the bones, and finally the soul!

The spell’s damage could no longer be undone once it was inflicted on the soul. Mu Bai was extremely close to dying, but he did not act like someone who was dying. It felt more like he was about to be set free once the Curse targeted his soul!

—

The wind had formed a barrier around the area, preventing others from interfering in the battle between the two Magistrates.

Many people had heard Mu Bai’s screams.

Zhao Manyan was busy handling the four strong Hunters, and did not have a chance to help Mu Bai. Only a few people from Fanxue Mountain were strong enough to face Lin Kang.

“Xinxia, Mu Bai might need your help,” Jiang Shaoxu said worriedly.

Lin Kang’s strength had grown significantly, while Mu Bai’s strength remained the same. Lin Kang was a lot stronger in terms of cultivation and strength. It was too difficult for Mu Bai to fight Lin Kang alone.

“I think he’s fine,” Xinxia replied.

“How so? I can feel his pain!” Jiang Shaoxu was even more worried. She did not understand why Xinxia did not help Mu Bai.

“My magic will only hinder him. His body has a Godhood that rejects the power of the Parthenon Temple,” Xinxia explained calmly.

“God…Godhood?” Jiang Shaoxu thought she had heard it wrong.

“Jiang Shaoxu, don’t worry about him. Lin Kang might be able to kill him with other Elements, but the Curse Element?” Mo Fan was not worried about Mu Bai at all.

How could someone who played chess with the Lord of Darkness die to the Curse Element that had been created by Him?

Mu Bai had explained what he went through in simple words, but Mo Fan knew he had lived a different life during the time he was lying in the coffin. It might have been longer than the years he had lived in this world.

“But…but his cries are so frightening!”

“Don’t you also scream when you are taking a cold shower?” Mo Fan asked lightly.
